Chapter 8: Refining the Elixir

  Liu Wuxie withdrew his palm, took a step back with his foot, and lightly landed outside the circle. The killing intent in his eyes flashed by, and Tie Li snatched back a life.

  "Whats going on? Why must you fight in private?"

  Xu Yilin forbade fighting and quarreling within the family, and although there were some minor grievances from time to time, everyone would just argue and shout but rarely resort to physical violence.

  As a master of a family, his daily life is taken care of by someone else. He would not come to a place like this dining hall even once a year. As for the struggles among the servants, he has no idea about them at all.

  "Master of the house, you must stand up for me!"

  Tie Li suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Yilin, crying out loud with a cracking voice, big tears rolling down his face, making many people present tear up.

  "Speak up, if Wei Xie has done something wrong, I will definitely punish him."

  In front of outsiders, especially inferiors, Xu Yilin was still a bit biased, and his demands on Liu Wuxie were even more stringent.

  The onlookers revealed a sly smile, not many people, with a sympathetic expression looking at Liu Wuxie, and next they will definitely have to bear the brunt of Xu Yilins anger.

  "Lately, the dining halls chairs and tables have been in short supply. I borrowed a chair that my brother-in-law used temporarily, but he didnt understand our good intentions as servants and instead scolded me harshly and hit me violently. Please, master of the house, investigate clearly."

  Tie Lis words caused the murderous intent in Liu Wuxies eyes to condense once again, forming a straight line that fell on Tie Lis body.

  Facing Liu Wuxies frightening gaze, Tie Li was so scared that he shrunk his neck. When did this wastes eyes become so sharp?

  "What he said is true?"

  Xu Yilins eyes swept over the others, inquiring about the outcome. If what Tie Li said was true, he would definitely not let Liu Wuxie off lightly.

  "What Tie Li said is true. In order to save expenses, we have been making do with the tables and chairs, hoping that Master will understand our good intentions."

  Several other servants in the dining hall rushed out, following and echoing each other, not one of them stood up to speak for Liu Wuxie, it can be imagined how this bodys previous life was treated in the Xu family.

  "Dont worry, Ill take charge for you all. Youve got a good heart, go treat your injuries first."

  Xu Yilin couldnt help but notice that there were still many idle tables and chairs around, so he comforted himself with a sentence, his eyes turned to Liu Wuxie, and glared at him fiercely.

  "Come out with me!"

  With a flick of his sleeve, he left the dining hall, and Liu Wuxie had no choice but to follow him honestly. If he said who was the person he respected most in the entire Zhenwu Continent, it must be Xu Yilin, who raised him as if he were his own father.

  No one spoke until they left the dining hall and stood in a small pavilion, with no one around. It was only then that Xú Yìlín looked over at Liǔ Wú Xié.

  "Its been tough on you all these years, come and dine with us from now on."

  Liu Wuxie thought that his father-in-law would scold him, but unexpectedly not a single word of blame came out, instead revealing a hint of loving smile. He was a dignified Washing Spirit Realm cultivator, who could tell truth from falsehood, yet couldnt even distinguish this, what a waste of living for so many years.

  "You dont scold me?"

  With a look of shock, normally when such things happened, his father-in-law would scold him severely, and had even locked him up before.

  "Youre already married to Xue Er and are an adult, I can no longer scold you like before. Todays matter, I will investigate clearly. Your natural talent is not good, you can only rely on hard work after this. Our family has had too many things happen recently, I temporarily dont have time to take care of you, you also need to be self-sufficient. If Liu Da Ge comes back, I also have an explanation."

  Xu Yilin said with deep meaning, mentioning Liu Ge, and a hint of respect flowed out from his eyes.

  Originally, Liu Wuxie still had anger in his heart, he wanted to kill Tie Li, but Xu Yilins words made him reveal a wry smile, the great Emperor Xian, when did he stoop to the level of an ant?

  "Father-in-law, has the matter of the military equipment been resolved?"

  Liu Wuxie generally doesnt interfere with Xus family affairs, if needed, he doesnt mind lending a hand.

  "Dont worry about this anymore, Ill think of a way. Its getting late, you should head back and rest early too, Ill arrange for someone to send food over to you."

  Weng and his son-in-law parted ways, Liu Wuxie returned to the courtyard, continuing to practice his knife skills.

  The meal was personally delivered by the housekeeper, all of which were delicious dishes. After finishing eating, he sat cross-legged and practiced the Taohu Tianjue until late at night when people were quiet before stopping.

  "Hes refined the Heaven Spirit Pill!"

  Take a half-hour break, adjust your breath evenly, and when refining the elixir, there can be no mistakes. What I fear most is being disturbed by others, so I wait until deep in the night to proceed.

  The withered wood crackled, the flames were fierce. A true alchemist needed to find the rare heavenly fire, and in his past life, he had obtained the extremely rare Triple Bliss True Fire.

  Ordinary flame refining second-grade elixirs is something only Liu Wuxie dares to do; Hao Dashi refines elixirs relying on the alchemical fire.

  One by one, the medicinal materials were thrown in, and after being refined and tempered with liquid, the technique became very skilled. The true energy controlled the flames, causing the medicinal materials to dissolve quickly, emitting a strong herbal aroma.

  Sitting by the Dan furnace, cultivating and controlling the flames at the same time, neither neglected, several drops of liquid were produced in the Tian Xuan divine cauldron, meeting the requirements for breaking through to the fifth stage of the post-heavenly realm. Once this pill is refined, with the help of the Tian Ling pill, he will make a breakthrough in one move.

  Every ten or so minutes, several medicinal herbs were thrown in, and a few pieces of wood were added. The flames crackled and popped, and with hands like a fan, gently danced, the flames seemed to come alive, following Liu Wuyis palm, with a very spiritual movement, like a phoenix of flame, flapping its wings.

  If other alchemists were to see this, wouldnt they be shocked to death? A mere mortal with a Fourth-Grade cultivation base has achieved such an extraordinary level of fire control, even the great Master Huo would be left in the dust.

  An hour passed, and a rich fragrance wafted from the dan furnace. The first batch of Tianling Dan was about to be finished. Due to his unfamiliar technique, a faint scent of burnt smell came from the dan furnace, and several defective pills should appear.

  The first refining has achieved such an effect, shocking the world already.

  He stood up, a strong and powerful aura shot out from his palm, the flames suddenly surged violently, enveloping the entire alchemy furnace. This was the crucial moment.

  "Condense!"

  No matter how well the previous work is done, if the last step cannot be completed, it will still end in failure. Many alchemists fail at the final stage, succeeding in purifying the medicine but unable to condense the elixir.

  This was extremely demanding on the flames. Liu Wuxie had refined countless elixirs, and this ordinary elixir couldnt hold him back.

  "Received!"

  The flames suddenly disappeared in an instant, and a strong medicinal fragrance was released from the dan furnace, filling the entire courtyard.

  Lifting the furnace lid, there were twenty Heavenly Spirit Pills inside, and five of them had turned brown, belonging to waste pills that couldnt be used.

  Bring out the ceramic bottles that were prepared in advance, and fill them with good elixirs. The discarded elixirs are not thrown away, but can be further refined and used as food to feed some spiritual beasts.

  "For now, lets stop here and after breaking through tomorrow at fivefold, the speed of refining can still be accelerated, and the rate of producing dan will also increase."

  Returning to the house, he poured out a grain of Tianling Dan into his palm, emitting a rolling sound, and the fragrance hit his nose. It was worth more than ten times the value of Peiyuan Dan and Yangxin Dan on the market, containing a hint of spiritual energy.

  Swallowed in one gulp, the powerful energy surged through every meridian and aperture, each one frantically absorbing, the boundary stirring restlessly.

  Without hesitation, the few drops of liquid condensed inside the Heaven Swallowing Cauldron were poured out by him, and his realm began to ascend.

  Tai Ah Tians crazy rotation of the Heavenly Gate, the spiritual energy in the courtyard gathered again, still unable to meet the demand, and the spiritual energy from other courtyards was constantly drained.

  The nearly liquid spiritual energy was sucked into his belly by Liu Wuxie with a big mouth.

  "Ka ka ka......"

  The body crackled with a cracking sound, like a small chick breaking out of its shell. A certain orifice in the body was opened, and the boundary suddenly expanded violently, breaking through to the acquired fifth realm.

  In one night, Liu Wuxie was cultivating, and his realm rose to the peak of the fifth heaven, but he didnt rush to continue breaking through.

  The foundation is crucial. After being transformed by the mysterious liquid, his physical body had long been purified and spotless. Breaking through the nine layers of acquired nature was no problem for him, but he didnt rush, instead polishing himself bit by bit.

  The better the refinement of the acquired realm, the higher the future achievement. Once the innate is broken through, its too late to refine, just like a house that has already been built, and then wanting to reinforce the foundation, missing the best opportunity.

  The night passed quickly, and when he opened his eyes, two whirlpools appeared in front of him. The spiritual energy inside the house suddenly dissipated, and everything returned to calmness.

  Arriving at the courtyard, familiarize yourself with the new surroundings, draw out the long sword, continue to pull out the sword, unsheathe the sword, and sheathe the sword.

  Repeating over and over again doesnt feel boring at all. Practicing with a knife is the same principle as tempering ones body, basics are extremely important.

  The same set of martial arts skills, when performed by 100 people, will have 100 different effects. The more stable the foundation, the more effortless and natural the knife techniques will be.

  "No good, this knife is too light and the length isnt suitable for me. Looks like Ill have to find a more suitable long sword."

  Abandon the practice of wielding a sword, the long sword in his hand, whether its the curvature or weight, has a big difference with the Blood Rainbow Sword Technique he cultivated. A weapon must be suitable for ones hand to exert its maximum combat power.

  The sky had just brightened, the familys armory was not yet open, fetched clear water, poured it into the quenching liquid, drilled in, operated the skill method, and continued to cultivate.

  His physical strength was still on the rise, and although his boundary was only at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm, his physical intensity had already surpassed that of a ninth-level cultivator in the Acquired Realm. Coupled with the Blood Rainbow Sword Technique, no one could be his match except for those in the Innate Realm.

  Until the quenching liquid was exhausted, he emerged from the wooden barrel, ate a simple leftover meal from last night, changed his clothes, left the Xu family home and headed to the armory.
